Aijohn had clear distinctions between right and wrong, and discernment between good and bad.
Hailey and the lab may be his life for many years, but he could not allow his marriage to be ruined just because of his dream. He felt sorry for his loss as he looked around but before he could allow himself to fall, he walked away.
Hailey followed him through her eyes until he disappeared. Tears fell down her face, but these would be the last. Her life didn't end at the vehicular accident during the peak of the storm, it wouldn't also end at the loss of someone who used to be her husband. The fact that he walked away and did not even plead, meant that he could no longer be hers.
Few years from now, she would take the crown from him. This could have been hers but in the name of love, she gave all the credits to him. She wanted to see his dream coming true, that one day, a child who used to live in a shack by the creek, would be recognized by the world.
There were so many limitations to Hailey's Pill because Aijohn did not know, that aside from what she declared as the active ingredients of the miracle pill, there must be supporting enzymes from other plant sources to activate those cells who would be worn out against the battle of malignancy.
This would have been her great surprise to him but that tragic event overtook her.
The reason why Hailey's Pill would no longer be effective once the intake was stopped, was because the worn - out cells would become insensitive after the stressful battle.
The immune cells would also loss its memory about its previous attacks and responses. Cell regenerations may occur but it would produce the same weak cells.
As to how and why the cells would become erratic, she could not explain yet, but someday, she wore, she would unravel its complexities. She would reveal the mystery.
The distressed and exposed cells to Hailey's Pill would need other factors to boost it out and other factors to regenerate new ones.
Her coming back would be to complete the task. She would correct the flaws of Hailey's Pill. She would improve its weaknesses. Ten years from now, she would shine into the world as the founder of the perfect cancer cure while Aijohn would be completely cut off. His name would then be blotted out from the pages of breakthroughs and history.
Sad for him. But this was the prize of choosing his family over his dream. It wouldn't matter if her love story failed, there were better things waiting for her ahead. She was never closed - minded. She would never cry over spilled milk forever.

When Aijohn returned home, she called up Grace to meet him in their parent's house. Sensing its urgency, the three cancelled their activities and gathered around.
"Hailey is back! " He said, shifting his gaze to the three of them.
What? What happened to her? Where did she go in all these years?
Who saved her? Why didn't she came back?
He smiled at the many questions raised simultaneously towards him.
He also didn't know the answers yet.
"Mom, dad, she's back to correct the flaws of Hailey's Pill. Even if we worked it out together in the past, she was the real discoverer of those enzymes. The solution to the present limitations of Hailey's treatment lies in her hand. "
"What is your point, son? " Mr. Felix asked, confused on what would be the effect of her reappearance.
"She dropped me out from the cancer cure project. "He said, his eyes unblinking.
"So, it means that, I would be resigning as the head of the research team and from the whole research project. "
"Is she angry at me? " Grace couldn't help but speak her heart out. That was her only concern. The success or failure of the project wouldn't matter anymore, now that her twin sister is back.
"No, she highly respects you. That's
why she asked me to leave. "
Madamme Glenda looked at him with a pang of pity in her heart.
"It also means the end of your dream. " She grimly said.
"My wife and my children are my
trophy. " He said as he wrapped his hand over Grace's shoulder.
Grace tearfully hugged him back. There were many things to thank him for but she was too overwhelmed to say it now. There were only two words she could affford to say. And those were the most overused words.
"Thank you. "
"Then, Mr. Felix suddenly thought of something. "Son, perhaps she could help Dr. Jim. "
Aijohn shook his head. "Jim is, unfortunately, late of Hailey's Pills and too ahead for Hailey's new breakthrough.
Grace heart sanked. He used to be the man she loved.

At the Wayne's Residence
"Sweetheart, I want to breath some fresh air. " Jim said, as he held Jia's hand, who only left by his side to attend her personal needs.
Jia looked at him and observed his increasing difficulty of breathing. She was already impatient on the effect of the bone marrow transplant. Jim seemed to get weaker. Was it because of his immunosuppressants? Or, was he having a graft failure? She dreaded at the thought.
"Sure. What do you want me to do? "
She asked, trying to hide her sorrow.
"Take me again to the beach."
Jia thought about it. She couldn't grant his wish. The beach was too far from the hospital. If anythings would happen, the distance would be detrimental to his safety.
"No, dear. It's too far from the hospital. If I would have to decide, I would want you to be confined. "
He rubbed her hair. "Thank you so much for taking care of me. For staying by my side, for giving up your heart's desire, for sacrificing your own happiness and for everything that you are to me. "
"Jim, please don't talk to me like that. It's killing me. "
"You're not dying. You're going to live for me and for our children. Put that in your mind. " Her tears began to fall like a sensor - controlled faucet.
Jim sighed. " Then, if I'm not dying, why would you cry? " He laughed, hugging her close.
"I hate you! " She murmured as she threw herself around him.
"But I love you ! "
The louder Jia cried.
"Stop it, sweetheart. Take me now to the sea. Don't be afraid. Just allow me a natural death. "
To allow a natural death means omitting life - saving measures like cardio - pulmonary resuscitation, intubation and emergency medication.
It meant that she would just wait and watch him gasping until he would stop breathing and his heart would stop beating.
This was his most painful request ever which she just couldn't accept. She knew his time was about to close. She just couldn't bear the thought.
Though a part of her heart still jumped at the sight of Anthon and a part that still cried for him, it didn't mean that she did not love him. That ungrateful part of her would never change her vow to give her whole lifetime to Jim.
When the pain got unbearable for her, she kicked the iron chair and sent it flying on the air. Still not satisfied, she kicked the plant vases and tossed it like objects in a circus. Still not enough, she wailed loudly, kicked, smashed and punched anything her hands could grasp until her hands and feet dripped with fresh blood.
"Jim, you're unfair! Let's die together! Don't kill me like this!
Don't leave meeee! Do you ever have an idea how much it hurt me?" She kept repeating this over and over until her voice became horse.
All the while she had been hiding her pain but his final words were just too much for her to bear.
Jim had never saw her getting wild like that and he suddenly got afraid.
Mr. Wayne rushed in together with the nurse and the helpers but they couldn't get near her.
Seeing her bleeding hands and feet, Jim got so scared that he also sobbed and tugged the shirt of the one who stood silently beside him.
" Hug her, please. She would be injuring herself. "
He , then, ran silently towards her from her back, pinned her arms together at the side and pulled her hardly against his chest to enclose her tightly in his arms. Losing her freedom to move, she went on ranting the same lines while she wailed.
"Let's die together! Why do you have to leave me? Let's die together... "
She went on wailing until all her pain and energy were spent. When finally she mellowed down , she whispered.
"Thank you, Ko. "
Only her Koko could understand these wild side of her. Only him could understand these episodes. Only him could understand her need to do this.
Wondering why he did not respond, she looked up. But the moment she saw him, her eyes widened and she instantly wanted to run away.
